Blue Cheese Bacon Sliders

Everybody loves seeing a burger on the menu -- especially when they don’t have to wait for dinner to start eating them! That’s where the Blue Cheese Bacon Sliders are king: as an appetizer before dinner, or as a snack after! (And we’d be lying if we didn’t tell you they make a great main course, too.)

Ingredients:

1 lb ground beef

1/4 lb bacon

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

Dash of onion powder

Dash of garlic powder

1 tbsp butter

1/3 lb crumbled blue cheese

1 yellow onion

1 heirloom tomato

Field greens

12 Slider buns

Preheat grill to 350 degrees.

Dice bacon to 1/4" cubes. Cook on medium heat until brown (approximately 5 minutes). Drain bacon and set aside on a paper towel until cool.
